In this game, you play as a computer mouse and search every nook and cranny of the computer. As you get deeper into the folders, strange things will happen ... Go back and forth between files, smash the office and try going to this computer's private folders to quench your curiosity!

Puzzle, jumps, bugs, secret codes and even explosions await you in Deep Old Files!

I'm going to be the first to say it, but you have won this game jam imo. Wonderful Job!

A bit short, but very original concept. Good work! :)

Great use of the theme. It was very intuitive to learn how to navigate the game. I would suggest adding more things to the empty folders, even if it is just simple Easter egg-like text files. Very nice game!

Very clever concept and execution of it. My only critique would be it would be great if the folders stayed on the ground once I "Slammed" them there with the coffee mug. It can be a little tedious to shake them down every time I open a folder then exit it in search for what I'm looking for.

I liked the password idea too, I never tried out all the available passwords so that potential gives the game replay-ability if that was intended.

Overall I love the games concept and think it could be expanded on if it was worked on more outside of the 48 hour dead line :)
